It manages more than two million acres (8,000 km²) of forest, operates a tree nursery, and sawmills. It was spun off as a public company in 2004 by parent Nexfor Inc., which became Norbord at the same time. Its stock trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange, under the symbol FPS. It is one of the companies listed in the S&P/TSX Composite Index (formerly the TSE 300).
Fraser's 3,700 employees work in several pulp and paper mills in North America, including in Madawaska, Maine and New Hampshire in the US, and Thurso, Quebec, and Edmundston, New Brunswick in Canada.
The Edmundston-Madawaska plants are the only facilities in the world that pump paper pulp by pipeline over an international border.
In 2000, Nexfor Fraser Papers (as it was known at the time) was the first company to receive international certification to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. Its operations are also certified to meet the ISO 14001 Standard for Environmental Management Systems requirements.
